Fruit and Nut Pickup is this Saturday, December 12th!
DON'T FORGET YOUR FRUIT & NUTS!! If you haven't already done so, please sign up for a time to pick up your fruit orders this Saturday, December 12th at the Dewey's Store! We also need a few more volunteers to help place orders in cars on Saturday afternoon. This work will be outside and contact will be minimal. If you are helping or working at the Dewey's store, you do not need to sign up for a pick up window. You may take your order with you when you leave.
Use this link https://signup.com/go/Kkxtpms or go to the Big Orange Volunteer Button on the band website. Thanks in advance for helping us make pick up run smoothly and safely!
VOTE for Athens Drive Marching Band!
The Athens Drive Band Program is participating in the Town of Cary's 9th Annual Gifting Tree Project! Local families, schools, and organizations decorate their tree in a competition to win a $500 donation to the nonprofit group of their choice. One winner will be chosen by people's choice.
Our tree is decorated and on display near the Cary Arts Center on Dry Avenue! Online voting is open Saturday, December 5th - Saturday, December 19th. VOTE HERE and ask your family and friends to vote too!! A special thanks to Tricia Pannill for making this happen!
Dewey's - Help Wanted!
Please help us fill the open shifts in the Dewey's store schedule.
Click to access the signup https://signup.com/go/hNexnww or use the Big Orange Volunteer Button on the band website. When signing up, be sure to use the name of the family member who will actually work the shift. In the comment box, enter the family account name (student/family last name) and indicate if the worker is a student or adult. Customer traffic has been slower and less predictable this year. If you sign up for an overlap or third slot on a shift, you may leave early if business is slow.
